Up next is a very special event, the second in our Mainly Mozart series. Each season, Concertmaster Mark Reneau puts together a unique concert that features music for chamber orchestra performed in an intimate setting.

This Saturday, November 10, 7:30 p.m. at the Church of the Nativity, Mark will lead performances of a Mozart divertimento and Haydn’s popular “Military Symphony.” He will be the soloist in “The Lark Ascending” by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This ethereal work has always been very special to Mark, and he will contribute some commentary about it to this blog soon.

Mark will have a conversation about the concert with Ginny Kennedy on 89.3 FM Public Radio, WLRH this Friday at 10:00 a.m. You’ll enjoy their great rapport, so tune in. You can also listen on line by clicking here.

Also, on Friday, in response to listener demand, WLRH will rebroadcast the HSO’s spectacular performance of Beethoven Ninth Symphony, beginning at 12:05 p.m. We are very grateful to everyone at WLRH for their incredible support of the HSO and North Alabama’s arts community!
